I've been having problems accessing M44. I played just last night but today, my antivirus is findig trojan horse viruses in the .exe files.

I deleted everything and tried to download the set-up again, but the antivirus won't let it install because of the trojan horse viruses. is anyone else having this problem?

I've never heard of anyone else having this problem with the online game.

The first thing you should do is send in a Bug Report to the crew and they can make sure their program is clean (which I believe it is). Click on the link down in my signature that says, "Bug Report Form" and send it in. I'll also send one of the programmers a Private Message so they know about this thread in case you have a problem with the Bug Report form.

I don't use AVG on this PC, I use another product. It is updated daily, scans the PC regularly, scans all downloads, monitors my network and has a firewall. I think I would know if M44 online was infected.

Think about what has changed recently.
There has not been a new version of M44 online. So it has not changed.
There (probably) has been a new version or update version of AVG.

So a newer version of AVG is suddenly reporting that M44 Online is or has a trojan horse. I would put your money on the probability that AVG is at fault and the report is a false positive.

I would suspect that some virus infected your M44 application after you installed it.

The software is NOT built on a Windows machine, it is built on a Linux machine, so it is impossible that a Windows malware would creep in. On top of this, we check each release with the latest anti-virus software.

To gordonsp: since your exe was infected, your anti-virus software probably now flags it as suspect, which is why it does not want to install it again. There is probably some setting somewhere to relax this rule.

To Quit2: just to be really sure, I downloaded the 1.1.2 executable from the Web site and compared it to our Master, and they are absolutely identical. So nothing bad happen on our server side. We also re-checked it with the latest anti-virus updates, and it was fine.

There could be several explanations:

- a new virus/trojan just appeared and several of you got it at the same time.
- you have been infected for some time, and the latest update of your anti-virus software is aware it just now.

We'll investigate about this Dropper.Generic4.AJES infection, but for the moment we're having a hard time finding information about it.

- I've verified I had the latest virusdefinitions
- I have executed a virus scan (all clear)
- I have started up Memoir 44 online
- I played a game
- I closed memoir 44 online
- I executed a new scan (all still clear)

AVG has a component called "Resident Sheild". If that is disabled, M44 can be downloaded and run without a problem. I'm not sure if that is a "safe" thing to do. I still have AVG anti-virus as well as the other components. But I am not savvy regarding viruses and anti-viruses.

I would appreciate anyone who has more knowledge with this to weigh in and advise.

Today as usual I clicked the icon taking me to memoir '44 but it wouldn't start. So I downloaded again, got the virus warning as well and download didn't work. Can't access memoir online. Tried again and before starting scanned computer and memoir'44 files specifically : nothing found. But whatever is installed does NOT work. Right after starting the download I get the warning "unknown/unverified editor do you wish to proceed?"

Hi!
I have AVG and there is a temporal solution. You can go to (my AVG language is spanish and this is a bad traduction) AVG - Tools - Advanced Configuration - Reisdent Protection and use the option Directoy Exclusion to add the Memoir`44 installation directory...

When you run the program AVG asks you for permission...

Good catch Carthvader!

I can confirm that it works. The procedure is easy if you follow it step by step:

- Open AVG by right-clicking on the AVG icon in the task bar and selecting AVG User Interface
- Open the Tools menu -> Advanced Settings
- Scroll down the list on the left until Resident Shield.
- Click on the + icon in front of it, and select Excluded Items
- Click on the Add Path button, and select the Memoir '44 Online folder. You'll have to look for in in C:\Program Files\
- Click OK

You will still get a warning the first time you start the game. Tell AVG that you know what you are doing, and the game will start!
